1987 turbo 944 Installed 62k-8 turbo new dual post waste gate new controller new chip. Can't get more than 11psi. Know this because of aftermarket boost gauge. Would like to run 15psi. Disconnected waste gate, had no signal to it, don't know why only running 11 psi. Any help appreciated.

you mean a K26/8 turbo? lol. what chip did you put in the car? stock boost is about 11psi so something might be limiting you.

Did the waste gate com assembled?
1.If you put it together yourself the top half "hat" on the body bolts my be loose( will limit you around that boost)
2.Did you change the bolt in the IC pipe that feeds the waste gate that could also be a problem.
